Grendon is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, tucked into rolling farmland and the remnants of Rockingham Forest. It keeps a distinctly rural feel, with a compact village core of stone cottages, a historic parish church and several listed buildings that hint at medieval and agricultural roots.
The local economy remains rooted in farming, although many residents commute to nearby centres such as Corby and Kettering or work in light industry and services; the village is reasonably well connected by the A14 and A43. Community life revolves around the village hall, a pub and occasional fêtes, and the surrounding woodlands and hedgerows make it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter rural lifestyle close to larger towns.
